Someone explain this asking price cause I can't figure out the mark up (this is the same dealer that sold the sonic blue car right?)!

Who knows.....

 

[BlackICE]

Won't even sell for 1/10th of the asking price.

 

[FBA]

Crack involved? LOL

'Gotta be a typo. Why in the world would they think anybody would pay that much for any GT?

Even at $300K it 'ain't gunna happen' (at this point in time anyway).

 

[Sinovac]

Perhaps it is a real estate listing with the GT thrown in to sweeten the deal. :lol

 

[1434gt]

definetly on crack

 

[FBA]

Typo? Ya, maybe they meant 30 million...

Is it not really obvious? Put a GT up for sale with a ridiculous and totally unrealistic price tag, get people that are in the market for GT talking about it, get others to do easy advertising on your behalf. Nobody is talking about the GTs priced within 5% of market value...

It does have the rare keyless start option!

Sonic blue came from O.C.the same day I bought mine. He does stuff to get your attention but he's a good guy to deal with. Hey, it worked it got us all noticing. I know that he had 10 there at one time which were all new plus SB. He told me that he was not going to sell the Heritage but was going to keep it for himself. Guess something changed

I don't disagree with your take on it. That reasoning has been put forth by others in the past. But, I do disagree with the basic premise as an ad gimmick.

Doing something like that may get people talking alright...but, the talk will be about; (1) how unrealistic you price on this car is, and therefore, (2) how far overpriced you're likely to be on all your 'regular' cars as well based on that. The bottom line being the "easy advertising" won't be 'positive' in nature. 'Cute' maybe, but not well advised.

Deep down, my bet is even those wise to that tactic are likely have the same 'do-I-really-want-to-deal-with-this-game-playing-outfit' view regarding any dealer who employs it.

'Just the way I see it. Others, of course, may disagree with it.

Hey, you need to replace the float some line. :lol

 

[FBA]

I made an offer and it was declined @ 190k...shit, I was only 2.81 million short of asking. I wonder why he declined my offer -

 

[KJD]

Three meeeellion $!

It's a free country (for now), owner can ask what he wants.

And we can comment, post, laugh, etc.

He's got a nice car.

But not that nice.

 

[robt777]

Hope he gets his price.

If he just wants his name out there, then I guess it's effective. But I side with Pockets on this one and think this kind of thing hurts more than it helps. They must have this guy running the ebay dept:

Well then, that explains it.
